Ditto what Joe said.

When Ford had the tire blowout fiasco years back and everybody was suing everybody, especially Firestone and Ford, one of the car magazines did an article on what happens when a vehicle has a blowout and how to control the vehicle. This article was brought about because the media portrayed the issue as if everyone that gets a blowout spins and rolls out of control killing everybody.

They did the blowouts at various speeds. Intitially they could not get the tiires to lose air fast enough to duplicate a blowout and sudden loss of air pressure so they rigged something up to make the air pressure drop to zero instantaneously. I don't remember how they did it, but they ended up doing that because all the tests prior to the modification were non-events. Nothing violent happened and the drivers never lose control.

So when they did the simulated blowouts the results were the same. The driver steered to maintain control and did nothing more than to allow the vehicle to slow down. It was concluded that if control of the vehicle was lost following a blowout it would have to have been because the driver did something such as letting go of the steering wheel or did something ill advised like jerking the steering wheel or slamming on the brakes.
